In the context of significant socio-economic and information-technological changes taking place in our country today, the problem of personal adaptation comes to the fore. This is essential for the activities of educational organizations, which must also respond quickly to social changes in society, make the necessary changes in the content of education, find new forms of interaction, as they work with the younger generation, which is more open to everything new and considerably faster adapt to social change in comparison with adults. However, the need for changes in the professional activities of teachers and managerial activities of school principals in accordance with the new social requirements suggest that the management of professional adaptation of teachers should be considered as an important area of psychological research. In addition, the new social conditions require the development of new approaches to psychological training of principals of educational organizations, necessitate increasing their psychological competence, in particular, in the field of psychological foundations of teacher professional adaptation management, taking into account external and internal factors influencing this process.

The following theoretical methods were used in the research process: analysis of philosophical, managerial, psychological-pedagogical domestic and foreign pedagogical literature on the research topic to find out the state of development of the problem; empirical: questionnaires. Thus, the data obtained, in our opinion, indicate an insufficient level of psychological training of school leaders on the problems of management of professional adaptation, and the need to implement a special program in this area of management in the institutions of postgraduate pedagogical education.
